A dealership takes your $100 and let's you test drive a Ferrari for half a day? That sounds like a large load of BS?

First thing is most people with real money and "disposable income" don't care to talk about it, nor post it on a public forum. However, it is nice you get to live off of your grandparents money. Yet this is not a "cool" thing in the world of the rich! Kinda like a lottery winner lol!

Congrats on the Ferrari! Awesome car! You should post up some more pics of it!
Well like I said it determines many factors, and there's a huge tax premium on inheritance, as long as my disposable income is put into investments or donated to good charities I won't be hit with much taxing.


I do though, spend fun money on things like going out to comedy shows, buying great wine, and going to movies or plays at the 5th Avenue theater (My favorite still is Phantom of the Opera). Girls are expensive too, never had a relationship last longer than 3 months are they usually show their true colors very quickly.....

I like tangible goods! Something that you can touch have pride in and play with for my money! (sounds wrong) Buying nice wine, you just pee it out in a day or so.

Either way everyones different. Need more pics of the Ferrari!

true true my friend, to each his own. Just do what makes you happy, I'm not flaming on anyone, just stating my thoughts on such an upgrade, I think they are beautiful cars but like models..they come with a huge upkeep and I hate upkeep.......

Still don't "get" how one goes from a Lexus to a $150,000+ super car!! Would the two guys please "share" with us if they actually won the lottery or are just "messing" with us?! Thanks in advance....

lol damn f430's get mad love haha. i am prematurely messing with you guys. I have my own detailing business so I get to sit in these cars all the time. Im 6'2" and fit in it fine..

The car's owner is looking into getting a new one and I made him an offer on the car that he is seriously considering so it may be mine sooner than later. Hopefully it all works out and ill finally own my dream car.
